AM sunlight is pure magic
It regenerates your entire biological system at the quantum level
Here’s why you should RELIGIOUSLY expose most of your skin to sunlight between sunrise and 10 AM

Human beings are diurnal creatures
We evolved to rise with the sun and be asleep soon after it sets
We’re also circadian creatures who operate on biological clocks that are dictated by the sun
Most notably, the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) and peripheral organ clocks

Regardless of how loud you shout into the void that we should avoid sunlight at ANY time
You’re arguing with the very source of all life on this planet since the beginning of time
I’ve made this clear in my other work

AM sunlight, starting from sunrise, is the foundation of human health
It’s the fountain of youth
Below, you’ll understand why I’ve put it on that level of importance

Morning sunlight contains a broad spectrum of light wavelengths
The distribution ranges from approximately 250 to 700 nm covering violet, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red
As the initially sun rises, it’s spectrum is mostly red and orange due to Rayleigh Scattering
When sunlight interacts with the atmosphere at this time, it causes other wavelengths to disperse because it’s coming in at an angle
More on this phenomenon below

Every aspect of your biology evolved to soak up the red light spectrum
The ATPase in mitochondria
Your non-visual photoreceptors
Gray brain matter through NIR light
This time of day is regeneration mode, and it perfectly syncs your circadian clocks accordingly

Morning exposure to deep red light (670 nm) improves declining eyesight with just one 3 minute session
Here’s the kicker:
That one session’s effects last for more than a week
Now think about the power of 30, 60, 120+ minutes of this practice

Earthing while exposing most of your skin to AM sunlight is even better
Why?
Because it connects you to the DC energy circuit of the planet
Free electrons get picked up from your body (which is conductive) and get shuttled into The Living Matrix

Morning sunlight exposure on your bare skin is the best way to prime the skin for midday UV conditions
It’s the single greatest trick to avoid burns, especially for lighter skinned people
Why?
Filaggrin production

Furthermore, you’re protecting yourself from melanoma by getting that red light spectrum, especially in the AM
People love to blame UV for skin cancers, yet they have no answer for this
Remember that nearly half of sunlight at all times is made of infrared-A

By getting your skin in the game in the morning, you set the stage for better sleep
Most don’t know that sunlight stimulates sub-cellular mitochondrial melatonin
Deeper sleep, less sleep issues

That first hit of morning sunlight stimulates the POMC gene in all human beings
As a result, all of its cleaved peptides get produced and released
You want these peptides, especially beta-endorphin which a powerful opioid peptide
Best way to start the day

It’s clear that the worst way to begin your morning is by being stuck inside surrounded by artificial light
Nothing compares to being outside with most of your skin exposed to the sun
It’s a potent health fundamental
Better clarity of mind, great skin, circadian benefits, etc

There are a few things to note:
1. You won’t nearly achieve the same benefits if you’re wearing sunglasses or contact lenses
Mother Nature’s optics need natural, undisturbed light for the full effect
Especially in relation to POMC, skin protection, so forth

2. Clothing blocks these light wavelengths from hitting your skin
When I say as little clothing as possible, I mean it
Treat it exactly like sunbathing
Each morning, I expose 90-95% of my raw skin to AM sunlight as it ascends

3. If you’re the type to put sunscreen on in the morning, all hope is lost
But seriously, what the hell are you doing?
Toss the sunscreen
There’s no way you’ll get a burn from morning sunlight exposure
AM sunlight on your skin, through filaggrin, will protect you from burns

4. Sunbathe in AM sunlight for at least 30 minutes daily
My rule of thumb might seem like a long time, but it’s the most important part of the day
You’ll be amazed by how much energy and drive you have after some time of doing this
Game changer

5. Consistency is king
For best results, you really have to understand the importance of this practice and do it religiously
It’s not hard to get people to do this because of the impact beta-endorphin has on them
Biologically driven addiction with only upside, zero downside

The versatility of this practice strikes me more than anything because the sun is always out
Even when it’s very cloudy, you’re still getting an incredible amount of natural circadian friendly light
Follow the same steps, and you’ll get the benefits of cold and natural light

Wherever you are, you can wake up and immediately go outside
If you can only expose your bare eyes, so be it as long as it gets done
Full body? Amazing
Just shirtless? Great
The point is that your skin is actually in the game as opposed to inside

Layer on your morning activities with this practice. Eat breakfast outside under sunshine. Take calls outside. Train outside. Go for a stroll

Compounding return plays a huge role when it’s the foundation of your lifestyle

As you age, you’ll notice that, compared to most people in your age bracket:
• Your eyesight is great
• Your energy is consistent & high
• Your skin looks tight and great
• Your mood is on another level
• Your performance is better
• Your attitude is more infectious
• Your mind is sharper
• Your hair is more full
• Your body is in better shape
It really does influence every biological process in amazing ways
